[O hai. It's December Days time, and this year, I'm taking requests, since it's been a while and I have new people on the list and it's 2020, the year where everyone is both closer to and more distant from their friends and family. So if you have a thought you'd like me to talk about on one of these days, let me know and I'll work it into the schedule. That includes things like further asks about anything in a previous December Days tag, if you have any questions on that regard.]
This is a more personal thing, I suppose, but one of the things that happens out in the world outside is that you learn to ask certain questions of yourself before you take actions, and one of the important ones is "Is it worth it right now?" But that's not the question we're asking for this entry.
( Here's your context, in what is probably a giant subtweet (sub-blog?). )
To summarize all of the above into something more compressed, the question of "deserving" and "undeserving" is a speck-plank problem, and it always says a lot more about the person who is asking the question than about the person the question is directed at. So my recommendation is to avoid it and try to set up and support situations where there are no judgments about "deserving", only people getting the help they need from a pool of resources large enough to provide for everyone that asks (and a few more that might be asking for the first time).

Why are people so concerned at people being "deserving"?
